Schermerhorn is awaiting arraignment after being arrested on an assault charge.

Relatives of Schermerhorn and Romaine said the woman was moving out after a break-up with Schermerhorn’s wife’s son.

Schermerhorn’s wife, Connie, said he was defending his wife and daughter after they were attacked. Romaine’s wife, Jeanne, says the helpers were peacefully collecting the tenant’s belongings, threatened no one and were attacked.
